Also known as Supermarket.

Activity Description: Youths list items or words, each adding to and doubling the previous one in a memory game.

Items Needed:

• None (just the group and their creativity!)
• (Optional) Paper and pen for a helper to track the list

Instructions (Estimated Total Time: 10–15 min):

1. Start the memory chain (8–10 min)
   • Make sure everyone can see and hear each other.
   • Youth #1 says their name and one item or word for the list.
   • Youth #2 repeats the first item or word and adds their own.
     • Examples would be things like “Dancing Donna” or “Silly Susan”.
   • Continue around the circle, each youth repeating all previous items and adding one new item.
   • (Optional) Use a theme like “supermarket” or “camp packing list”
2. Celebrate the full list (2–3 min)
   • After the last youth adds their item, repeat the full list together.
   • (Optional) Try a second round with a new theme or challenge.
